First Date

"First Date" is an ambitious thriller-comedy-action-romance independent movie, with quirky characters and several excellent action-driven set-pieces. Its themes are subtle, and there is substance underneath all of its flashy style; but it is not heavy-handed, and it is definitely entertaining. I was glued to the screen up to the end credits, not knowing where it will go next, or how it will end! I found the movie to be like an indie homage to wild action-comedies like Pineapple Express and Game Night, though it also has the quirky world and characters of a movie like The Big Lebowski. Being that it tackles so many different genres, some may take issue with the movie's mercurial tone... but in the end it is still a thrilling, entertaining movie. Watching it was a real rollercoaster of a ride, so if you're looking for a thrilling experience, check out this movie!
